Bizarre Fall Festivals Around the US 2023

 

One of a trillion reasons to love the US, we don't take ourselves too seriously when it comes to recreation. It's probably why we adore our Aussie cousins so much!  They get it!

Blanket Fort Movie Marathon

   

There's probably a zillion ways to make a blanket fort (ask any kid), but when you're an adult it becomes more than a house within a house, it becomes a romantic getaway.

I get flat sheets from Goodwill and use push pins to drape off areas. 

If you make it a movie marathon watching zone with perhaps some takeout Chinese or pizza, you're ready to have a slumber party with your partner.

Halloween-Mood Movies

  

You want to get into the Halloween mood and pretend summer is over? 

There's something about darkness, firelight, candles, and the scent of pumpkin and cinnamon that brings out something primal in all of us. 

Free Horror Movies on Streaming

 

I've done some poking around the streaming channels in search of good horror channels and good channels for finding horror movies. If you have a smart TV or Roku, adding the apps is easy and the benefits are massive!

Road Trip Horror Movies

 

A fun movie marathon for summer travelers, the road trip horror genre. Other than prices at the gas station, restaurant, and hotel, there's plenty else to frighten you. Here's just some of the fun offerings - 

Shrunken Apple Head Tree

   

This was a fun project. I actually did it in August so that the apples could age.

The Dark Watchers

 

There is nothing that catches my attention more than a local legend that gives me chills. California State has a doozy of a goosebumps maker - the Dark Watchers.

Nature Spirits

  

At some point, you are likely to have taken a photo and looked back at it and thought you saw a face.

Cool Horror Movies on a Hot Day

 

It's been a nasty hot summer and we're all counting the days until Spirit Halloween store opens and we can wear our first sweater of the coming season. Curl up with the air conditioner or fan on, make an icy cold drink, and enjoy some cooler-weather horror movies.

Gaslight-Themed Horror/Suspense

 

GASLIGHTING: Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition. (rather sounds like our present administration and cults....)
